Killer is Dead - PlayStation 3

The world has witnessed technology make unimaginable leaps and bounds over the past few decades, and there's no end in sight to this exponential increase in advancements. So, it's not a stretch to imagine a world where extreme technology has developed to augment human strength and agility, to the point where biomechanical replacement parts and doping have become an everyday thing. This may sound like an advantage, but there can be too much of a good thing. Killer is Dead takes place in a world where these advances have fostered a new super-breed of criminals who use enhancements for ill-gotten gains — they're faster, stronger, more capable and less ethical, and the police and military are at a loss to reclaim the streets. Well, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction — an emergence of biomechanically augmented executioners have emerged and have dedicated themselves to tracking down the abusers of technology and eliminating them for a price. Offering their services to anyone who has the means and the motive to want someone else dead, the executioners take over where the law cannot, stalking their prey under darkness and striking when no one expects it.In Killer is Dead, you become Mondo Zappa, an augmented man and new recruit to the executioner profession, as you start taking jobs from half-cybernetic bruiser and execution agency owner, Bryan Roses. On a quest to uncover the secrets of your past and piece together the fabric of your life, take on each job with your own augmentation on your side. Wielding a Japanese katana in your right hand and using your bionic left arm to pack powerful punches that take down attackers and bust through obstacles, you'll spend your nights eliminating criminals and days chasing beautiful women. When necessary, your enhanced arm can even transform into a gun for ranged combat. When you're not hunting bad guys, complete extra missions to gain access to unlockable outfits, money to upgrade weapons, materials to aid in a pinch and Gigolo mode to seduce the various beautiful women you'll meet throughout the story. Developed in the mind of twisted game creator SUDA51, the man behind No More Heroes, Killer 7 and Lollipop Chainsaw, Killer is Dead features eye-catching, cel-shaded visuals that are reminiscent of a moving comic book. A gritty, bloody, ultraviolent world where biomechanics have changed the game for the worst awaits, and it's up to you to level the playing field and take down those who abuse the gifts of technology.
